Setting Up the Instrument
35
To set up the Indexer Clicker in bidirectional mode
1. In the OmniScan MXU software, set the scanner encoder as encoder 1 (Scan >
Encoder > Encoder = 1), and then set the encoder type to Quad (Scan > Encoder >
Type = Quad). Set the encoder resolution (Scan > Encoder > Resolution = 12) in
steps/mm.
2. Set the Indexer Clicker as encoder 2 (Scan > Encoder > Encoder = 2), and then set
the encoder type to Clicker (Scan > Encoder > Type = Clicker). Each time the
Indexer Clicker is pressed, the position on the corresponding axis is incremented
according to the Resolution parameter value (which as already been set from the
Scan > Encoder > Resolution menu) in mm/step.
When you want to scan with an overlap between scan lines, you need to use the
Linear at 0° mode in the Setup Wizard.
If an overlap is not required, or if you want to use an angle other than 0°, you need to
use the Linear mode in the Setup Wizard, and you must set the resolution of the
encoder 2 which is linked to the Indexer Clicker (Scan > Encoder > Resolution) to
equal the index value. The index value is available by selecting Scan > Area > Index
Res. (see Figure 2-5 on page 36).
